IN THE CITY.

ssEdmund Kirke,, and Wife stopping
at the Tontine for the Winter
Months.
J. r. Gilmore the writer, better known
throughout the United States by his nom de
plume, Edmund Kirke," is stopping at the
Tontine Hotel for the winter. accompanied
by his wife. Their home is at Lake George
They reside there about eight months of
each year, the remainder of the time being
spent in travel. He has been to New Haven
in previous years; only for short stay, how
ever. He found things SO conducive to
convenience and comfort that he fancied it
would be pleasure to himself and wife to
come here for the winter. They have now
been here nearly two weeks. Mr.. Kirke is
now busily engaged in writing series of
books on the history of the Southwest. The
FIST book has already been published and
run through two editions, the third one
now on hand. The second volume, that is,
the manuscript, was sent to D. Appleton &
Co., the publishers, on Thursday. There will
be either three or four volumes. Mr.. Gill
more says the first history OF the Southwest
has never been written. 1t is as full of ro-
nance as Walter Scott's novels. Yesterday
he sent special article to Harper Brothers
for their magazine. Mr.. Gilmore, when
very young, wrote good many articles
which were noted for their profoundness.
He went into business, and at the time of
the breaking out of the civil war he became
SO imbued with enthusiasm that he decided
to strike his first blow for the Union in the
shape of the Continental, a magazine. It
was published in New York. He had asso-
ciated with him a man named Leland. In
those days people wanted war poetry. He
and his associate wrote the poetry and to
give it tone and make it apparently out of
the run of their own writings they signed
different names to the poetry. Mr.. Leland
at one time dubbed Mr.. Gilmore as sEd-
mund Kirke." The nom de plume
grew with him and still clings
unsuccessfully tried to throw it off. It was
in 1880 that Joseph Harper, of the original
four brothers, asked that Mr.. Gilmore write
history of the life of Garfield. He did SO
and affixed to the manuscript his real name.
When John Harper, of the new regime, came
to the article he asked who j. R. Gilmore
was He went to Joseph, who turned about
and asked Mr.. Gilmore himself who the man
was. "Mr. Harper, have known you from
boyhood and yet you know not who I am
yet' was the reply. Mr.. Harper was SO
used to hearing his name Edmund Kirke
that the name of Gilmore had somewhat
off his real name, as they said they
would sell thousands on thousands ex-
ira, and it was to their interest
that he should charge it to Edmund Kirke
again. So he did. 1t was while editing the
Continental that he wrote series of articles
which were afterward put into book form
and called "Among the Pines"
Mr. Gilmore is a man past the meridian of
life, but quite sprightly yet. He has a
slight stoop in his shoulders, carries long,
flowing beard, wears Immaculate linen and
is withal handsome old man.

GRADUATE NURSES.

Card From the President of the
COnnectfcut Training school For
Nurses.
The executive committee of the Training
School for Nurses desire to give notice to the
public that experienced nurses who have
finished their hospital training can be OBJ
tanned on application to the lady superin-
tendent of nursing, who is competent to
Judge of the fitness of a nurse for given
case. Telephone messages to the hospital,
when preferred, from Mr.. Klock's drug store,
corner of Church and Chapel streets, will re-
ceive prompt attention. The committee owe
it to the public to state that no directory or
registry for nurses has any connection with
the Training school, or has received its en-
dorsement, and it is consequently not re-
sponsible for disappointment which has been
or may be felt in nurses engaged without
their sanction.
The attention of the committee has been
called to the fact that nurses who have been
crossed off from the books of the school are
presented to the public as reliable nurses.

President Training School for Nurses.
